Truck started, but intermittent lighting and interior cab electronics. Diagnosed as intermittent electrical spike. Replaced one of the alternators and bypassed engine wiring harness that supposedly had a short. Vehicle has an extended warranty ( ford esp ), stating that electrical components, including harnesses, are covered. Claim denied by dealer ( boucher ford west bend, wis) while traveling with no reasonable explanation. Dealers seem to have a problem doing warranty work, but are glad to charge top rates.
